This is the machine from my signature. Not sure if someone tried this yet. Took me a few years to get all equipment together (incl. the required CrayLink/XIO cables, which maybe was the hardest part of it). I've anonymized the barcodes as I don't want to disclose the original owners. Below you'll also find some pictures of it (although some hardware from the top GIGAchannel cabinet was (re)moved before getting the `hinv -vm` output). The front skins are more or less intact (if I don't touch them), the top GIGAchannel cabinet originally was a floor-stand version, hence it's missing the sides of the front skins.

@vishnu, @gijoe77, @mopar5150:Thanks guys! I believe I was just lucky to get all pieces together and intact.

I was afraid, someone would ask. Actually it's currently waiting for the next start up . I have mainly played with my other machines since my last post to this thread. It would be interesting to know, how many external graphics modules can be used with this machine (like with bjornl's Onyx 200).

Actually I don't remember if I ever started OpenBSD on the whole machine, I know that it works on my first O200 (a single node, which originally came with the GIGAchannel expansion cabinet that's now on the top of the machine this thread is about). On http://www.openbsd.org/sgi.html it reads that MP operation is only supported on single-node IP27 machines. So it might not work at all on a craylinked O200. But I should check. On the other hand it might run on the machine if its partitioned into two systems, although that's not that useful (first craylink two machines, then partition into two machines).

I still haven't tried to fire up my o200 yet. It was new in box. No plastics or door.

The guy who sold it to me was a 3rd party dev for SGI products. They used it to test some things and it was turned on and used very little then put right back in the box.

I have the o200 in practically brand new condition except for the fact that it is now dusty.

I have yet to fire it up. My goal was to have it utilized by the O2 as a render node. I used to run Maya and Lightwave like this on PCs using the PCs on the network to run as render nodes. Never set up an SGI this way or even know where to start.
